Clifford Lambert Trial Update

Closing statements could happen as early as tomorrow afternoon, in the Clifford Lambert murder trial. Two men accused in the financially motivated killing of the Palm Springs retiree have been defending themselves for months. Daniel Garcia and Kaushal Niroula are facing 10 felony charges, including 1st degree murder and conspiracy, in the 2008 stabbing death of Lambert. Today in court, Niroula decided to testify at the last minute and will continue his testimony tomorrow morning at 9. Closing arguments could happen tomorrow afternoon, depending on the length of his testimony, as the fate of who have been called the “brains” behind the alleged conspiracy is about to be handed to the jury. A 5th defendant has already pleaded “guilty” to voluntary manslaughter and is set to be sentenced in October. Of course we will be in the courtroom, to bring you the latest as the case gets ready to go to the jury.
